7.1 Energy saving tips

• Choose a well ventilated location which is protected from direct sunlight.

• Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the device to keep cool.

• Do not open the refrigerator more often than necessary.

• Do not leave the doors open for longer than necessary.

• Defrost your refrigerator as soon as a layer of ice forms.

• Avoid unnecessarily low temperature settings.

• Clean dust and dirt from the condenser at regular intervals.

7.2 Using the refrigerator

The fridge conserves fresh foodstuffs. The freezer compartment conserves frozen

foodstuffs and freezes fresh foodstuffs.

A

➤ Switch the refrigerator on by turning the knob (fig. 1 A, page 3) to the right.

I

Setting the temperature

You can set the temperature to any level using the knob. The built-in thermostat reg-

ulates the temperature as follows:

• min. (left limit) = warmest setting

• max. (right limit) = coldest setting

NOTICE!

• Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not excessively

refrigerated.

Liquids expand when they freeze and can thus destroy the glass con-

tainers.

• Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable con-

tainers.

• Ensure that the objects placed in the refrigerator are suitable for cool-

ing to the selected temperature

NOTE

After switching on, the refrigerator requires approx. 60 s until the com-

pressor starts up.

Conserving foodstuffs

You can conserve foodstuffs in the refrigerator compartment. The time for which the

food can be conserved in this way is usually stated on the package.

A

I

The refrigerator compartment is divided in different zones with different tempera-

tures:

• The colder zones are immediately over the drawers for fruit and vegetables near

the back wall.

• Observe the temperature information and best before date on the food

packaging.

➤ Observe the following when using the device:

– Do not re-freeze products which are defrosting or have been defrosted,

consume them as soon as possible.

– Wrap food in aluminium foil or cling film and shut in in a suitable box with a lid.

This ensures that aromas, the shape and the freshness are better conserved.

Defrosting the refrigerator

Humidity can form frost in the interior of the refrigerator or on the vaporiser. This

reduces the cooling capacity. Defrost the device in good time to avoid this.

A

To defrost the refrigerator, proceed as follows:

NOTE

The cooling capacity can be influenced by

• The ambient temperature

• The amount of food to be conserved

• The frequency with which the door is opened.

NOTICE!

Do not conserve warm food in the refrigerator compartment.

Do not place glass containers with liquid in the freezer compartment.

NOTE

Food which can easily absorb tastes and odours and liquids and

products with a high alcohol content should be conserved in air-tight

containers.

NOTICE!

Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to loosen objects

which have frozen in place.
